Thanks for the feedback guys.
Here’s what I did to end the nightmare.
Maybe it will help some of you solve the problem. It’s bound to come up.
I installed WordPress in my public_html folder. That’s where the .htaccess file was.
I kept seeing mention of the .htaccess file being moved to the folder where the blog actully was in the WP support forums.
BTW, my .htaccess file was a blank sheet of paper. For some reason, nothing was there. I finally got it through my brain that the text from the bottom of the permalink stucture area was supposed to be there. So, I copy and pasted that code into the .htaccess file. Of course I had to rename the file htaccess and rename in .htaccess once it was back on the server.
Anyway, when I move the newly changed .htaccess file to my folder (called “blog”) low and behold, the feed started showing up.
Good luck!
